Reed Richards and Sue Storm are grappling with their marriage: he, mad scientist with his head in the clouds, woman with her feet on the ground that "dreams of the most beautiful moment of his life." Around them are old friends: Johnny Storm all women, cars and looking for sponsorships and "The Thing", Gigantone hearted love with his "wise & sexy" Alicia. But there is a double problem to be addressed to the Fantastic Four: the Earth is threatened by the arrival of the Silver Surfer, nuncio of Galactus, the destroyer of worlds, who wants to erase our planet from the universe to get the ' energy needed for its livelihood and the "usual" Dr. Doom, who, reviving, plots against the quartet to eliminate once and for all.
They return to the Fantastic 4 movie, and never as in this case is the motto: Never change a winning team.
Same cast, same director Tim Story, same writers (including Mark Frost's Twin Peaks), directing the same position: as the first film we see a fast film, light, without too much introspection, pointing straight to the irony and emphasis on the beat, with dialogues never take it seriously, and many scenes that now know they have already seen, just think of the disputes between the Human Torch and The thing or the defiant spirit of Chris Evans.
F4 Silver Surfer is still a small step forward from its predecessor film, which I personally was a disappointment. Accustomed to superproblemi or superheroes with the struggles between mutants, see four daredevil in tights and a villain that can give rise to anything but that fear was not a good result.
The return of the fantastic quartet improves the tone a bit, but certainly this is due to the fact that missing the prelude, the rise and awareness of the superpowers, our heroes are already known, and even end up in the news as the news see the very beginning of the film, including the worship of the crowd around them.
The advantage is this: do not take themselves too seriously, keep the tone lighthearted and fun for the whole of its short duration ... and I must admit that it is necessarily prorpio this last aspect that makes worship F4: the 92 minutes. After the exhausting 3 hours of entering the Spiderman movie and come out after an hour and a half it seemed company impossible. In this praise.
But for the rest of this film is remembered only the antagonist Silver Surfer: tragic hero and romantic with its load of personal despair and its perfect visual effects (and it is not clear however why the extensions of the articulated Mister Fantastic always be made so bad and so "fake "...).
The Silver Surfer, modeled on the features of the actor Doug Jones (The Labinto the faun) but dubbed in the original by Laurence Fishburne (Italian dubbing and luckily keeps the same tone of voice) is the intergalactic herald with a look that recalls both the T-1000 Terminator 2-Judgement Day. The sequence
which makes its entry onto the scene, just as we are celebrating the rumored marriage of Sue Storm and Reed Richards, who fall between helicopters and a long and exciting chase implemented by the torch, is one of the most spectacular scenes (which to tell the truth many are not).
For the rest, apart from the beauty of the Storm brothers, the applicant and a funny cameo by Stan Lee (for now its best "raid" a Marvel film, a must!), There is not much to say. .. had expected something more accurate, but also more mature might not only be read by those who well knows the comic, but at the same time manages to attract new spectators.
Collections USA, virtually identical to those of the predecessor film, say a lot about this issue ... no significant evolution.
Among other warnings, we would also very bad for the fans of Galactus who can tear his hair in the family see the Destroyer armor purple transformed here into a cosmic cloud ... and that's it. The recovery of the Christian "Nip / Tuck" McMahon (one term only), or Doom, is unnecessary and the final scene of "Chinese" is an embarrassing tantinello ...
How to ruin a movie with a ridiculous final.
Ops, but the 90 minutes have passed ....
